Hello, I am Pranay, and I started game development an year before, although I am not so experienced in game development or coding, but I do have a little experience about Artificial Intelligence, not so much but enough for my work. I am working on my first game, creating and learning in parallel, it is an open world game, and as I was working in it, I realised that I would also need NPCs that can talk to the player in real time, to give the players a sense of fun, which takes too much time and knowledge of behavior and state trees, which I don’t have 
, and also there aren’t much tutorials about state trees, Thats why I thought what would be better than just taking a light weight open source LLM from GitHub and somehow plugging it in the engine so that it can run locally, without connecting to cloud, this would be wonderful, but again I don’t know if this can even be done and if yes then how can I do that, I didn’t find any resource online about this and if no 
, then what else can I do, please help me 
, I am stuck in this black hole.
Hey there @R.Pranay! Welcome back to the community! This would be possible with very small models, but would require significant technical knowledge to do. It’s much easier integrating API calls to a cloud provided LLM while not always the cheapest option. There aren’t too many resources available, but here’s a couple I could find as well as a (paid) plugin that seems to do the same.
